Up for sale, a 2002 Fender Mustang '69 vintage reissue model MG69 in 100% original condition with a Daphne Blue custom color finish. A discontinued model made exclusively for the Japanese market and select international outlets, this Mustang is uncommon outside its country of origin. Often considered to rival Fender's US production in terms of overall quality, this Mustang is a testament to the workmanship and eye for detail evident in the Crafted in Japan Fender models.
The MG Vintage single coil pickups have a clear, cutting tone, and the on/off/on pickup selector switches can also engage the distinctive Mustang out-of-phase sound. The guitar is lightwegiht at 7lbs 5oz, and the crisp, jangling voice when strummed acoustically translates well through the pickups. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Mustang features 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
